Question from BIGBELLY
I have a 2 year old and am expecting a new baby around christmas. I cannot afford to buy a new natural mattress but am concerned about my children sleeping on a bad toxic surface. I thought about buying the snugglewool blanket (made with pure merino wool) and letting the newborn sleep on it as it would protect her from the off-gasing of the mattress, would that be correct or do you have any other suggestions?
What about buying a silk sleepsack to sleep on ? Would that be healthier ?
Also, should I buy some wool liners for the car seats and stroller, should I be concerned that the fabrics and/or plastic material off-gas ?
Debra’s Answer
Wool blankets do not block the fumes from the outgassing of mattresses or car seats or strollers. A wool blanket is a good idea on it’s own merit, but not to block fumes.
Silk is fine as a material, too.
Moms, what suggestions have you?
